Weight Tracker ++ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weight Tracker ++ has 667 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Step Counter free's written reviews are positive against 43% of Weight Tracker ++'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
